"IF YOU THROW THE BASEBALL AT  me one more time I won't hesitate to shove it where the sun don't shine." Aliya snapped, smacking Luke's baseball out of his hands as he continued to mock her

"Oh, you did not just knock my ball out of my hands." He gasped, glaring at the rolling ball

"What you gonna do? Break dance at me?" Aliya joked making him launch himself towards her, only for Jessie to quickly pull him back and set him on the park bench

"Thank you for letting me bring Mr. Kipling on our outing, Jessie." Ravi smiled, pushing Aliya back further from Luke so they wouldn't kill each other

Aliya gently nudged the giant lizard's tail with her foot, only to be lightly whacked in response.

"He's been very lonely lately." Ravi continued, staring down at the reptile

"Probably because Bertram's leg broke up with him." Jessie laughed

"He sighs all the time, and he just pushes his crickets around his dish. Also, he insists I read him nothing but paranormal teen romance." Ravi explained, confusing everyone with the last bit of information

"I knew I saw drool on my Twilight books. I just thought it was mine." Jessie admitted, "I'm definitely team Jacob."

"You're telling me you'd take a dog over Robert Pattinson? What did they teach you in Texas?" Aliya wondered, refusing to accept her choice

Luke smirked at the older woman, moving to lean next to her, "How do I get you on team Luke?"

Jessie rolled her eyes, "Change your age, height, and abs."

"I have a six pack." Luke lied, too confidently

Zuri rolled her eyes and pulled herself from under the bench, "Yeah, of pudding cups."

"Well, Jacob may have abs, but he's just a big, glorified dog." Luke shot back

"Huh. Only time you've ever said something remotely correct." The Dresmond girl shrugged, plopping onto the concrete

Jessie scoffed in disagreement, taking the baseball from Luke's hand and tossing it in the other direction, "Hey. Luke, fetch."

Luke quickly ran after the ball, Ravi and Aliya quickly chasing after him in order to tease him when he finished his retrieval

Mr. Kipling refused to do what Ravi said, and practically dragged the poor boy back to the playground.

Aliya chased after them, hoping to save her best friend before he was smacked into a tree or something. Luke was fast on her tail, also worried for his brother

The giant lizard stopped in front of the playground's plastic lizard, and cemented himself in her spot.

"So, now we just stand here until we have to leave?" Aliya asked, watching Ravi hopelessly tug on the leash
